Picture Day, Independent Lunch Skills, and Water Bottles


Picture DayPicture Day
This coming Monday, August 24th is Picture Day!  Please be sure to fill out and return the picture order forms that were sent home yesterday, and be sure to come Monday wearing your brightest smile! 🙂  Please have your child wear his/her regular school uniform.

Lunch 
For those students bringing home lunch, please spend some time this weekend helping your student practice independent lunch preparation.  For example; 
How to open containers and packages (i.e. opening pudding cups, putting straws in juice boxes, etc.)
How to properly and safely use a microwave (i.e. paper towel under food, how long to cook it, how to remove the hot food, what NOT to put in a microwave, etc.)
What to keep and what to throw away (i.e. keep tupperware, please throw away opened juice box even if not finished, etc.)

Water Bottles
Please feel free to send your child with a water bottle to keep in his/her cubby (preferably one that doesn’t spill easily, one that your child can easily open and close him/herself, and that is labeled with your child’s name).  One drinking fountain with an entire class of students takes a lot of time and we want to make sure they are getting enough water.  Thanks so much!
